FanFest 2006 - Part one

FanFest was the only green romanian festival of the year. You probably know the continuous fights between Gabriel Resources that wants to take over Rosia Montana and transform it into a prosperous area with a mine proposal that will actually destruct five mountains, 10 churces, 12 cemeteries and 958 farms, and some local authorities, environmental organisations and lots of other people that want to stop this, as they say, illegal action. Rosia Montana's locals have been offered money to leave the place and set somewhere else. Nowadays, you may see some once beautiful transilvanian houses, left abandoned.


That's the main reason for the "FanFest. Save Rosia Montana" festival. Set somewhere in the mountains, on a big plateau, it may have the most beautiful sights for rock concerts. It is also not so easy to get there.


Next photo shows you the FanFest location; (you may see the tents and stage in the left of the enlarged photo).






Coming next: my story of a 2 days rock-in-the-woods adventure.
